    To be fair, the organiser should schedule the all-Chinese match first before the other, even if Shon SM beats Chen Hong tonight. Otherwise, we may see another Hafiz vs Roslin match!!

    Now, Zhang Ning beats Carmilla w/o too much sweat. 99%, she's going to face Mia in the semi.

    If I did not remember wrong, back in 94, Mia killed Zhang in Uber Cup (5th match), and that one was a nightmare for Zhang Ning's career.

    If Zhang Ning can pass Mia, then she will be the hero in this WC, since she's the one single handedly (besides Wang Chen) cleared the road for WS title. The upper half is already CHN's "internal match" - Gong vs Zhou.

    can we say that CM had peaked and is now going downhill? Not only was she wasnt beaten but beaten bad in short duration.

    too early to say. we dont' even know what has happened to her. was it a genuine 11-0 loss. or may be she got a cramp?

    but if CM goes, we will probably see the Chinese to continue their internal matches on every tournament.

    yes. but China going so far this time has much to do with Korean's terrible luck. i think perhaps if Ha and Yoo are still standing, we may see a difference result..

    Look like Li Yong Bo's goal on MD is reached: get a medal.

    What's next? Going to final? Get the gold? Well, with the pace like this, anything is possible now...

    God... Tang Xian Hu is the god now...

    with all due respect, i think Sang Yang / Zheng Bo has better chance of getting further than Cai / Fu. the morale is certainly very high on the Chinese side and that may play to their advantage or disadvantage. Cai showed some brilliant composure during the game against S&C in the SC. but S&C was definitely below their normal performance then.

    the loss by Chen / Wang may also help if they give feedback.

    but then, S&C is always a very difficult mountain to scale. they are like MD god and if they win, they fully deserves it.

    but wow. 2 Chinese MD pairs in WC semi finals. that would only be a wild dream last year.
